Glastonbury con gli Stones o Latitude? UK, le nomination dei migliori festival

Sono state comunicate le nomination della decima edizione degli UK Festival Awards. Dai 575.000 voti espressi dagli utenti, gli organizzatori hanno stilato un listone dal quale saranno estratti, il prossimo 2 dicembre alla Roundhouse di Londra, i vincitori per ogni categoria. E, se probabilmente il Glastonbury che ha ospitato come headliner i Rolling Stones la spunterà in almeno un campo, in altre categorie gli esiti sono meno scontati. Da notare una curiosità: in lizza ci sono anche i WC migliori. In questo caso il Glasto, con i suoi 100.000 spettatori e le lunghe file, non appare.
